In an industry where billion-dollar brands dominate search rankings, breaking through with organic SEO can feel impossible. Most luxury retailers rely on massive ad budgets, leaving emerging brands struggling for visibility. But we rewrote the rules. By developing a data-driven SEO strategy, we helped a cashmere apparel brand cut through the noise, outrank competitors, and achieve remarkable growth in just 12 months(ongoing).
Starting with only 35 keyword rankings, we expanded their visibility to 1,100 keywords nationwide, with breakdown as follows;
This increase in organic visibility led to a staggering $490,000 in revenue within six months, all from organic search. Most impressively, we secured top placements in Google’s AI-powered search features, allowing the brand to appear alongside major luxury fashion houses in sections such as “People Also Buy,” “Similar Brands,” and Google Shopping carousels.
When we began working with the brand, it faced significant obstacles:
To overcome these challenges, we developed a comprehensive SEO strategy focusing on keyword expansion, Google Shopping optimization, AI-driven search enhancements, and authoritative content development.
To drive sustained organic growth, we developed a comprehensive keyword strategy that targeted high-intent searches at every stage of the customer journey. Instead of focusing solely on transactional keywords, we ensured the brand ranked for a diverse range of search queries, capturing traffic from initial research to final purchase.
We secured rankings for 826 transactional keywords, such as “best men’s cashmere sweater” and “luxury women’s cashmere coat”, directly targeting customers ready to buy
Additionally, we ranked for 915 commercial keywords, including “best sustainable cashmere brands” and “cashmere vs wool”, which catered to shoppers in the consideration phase.
By optimizing for 38 navigational keywords, we strengthened brand recognition and engagement for direct searches.
To further expand visibility, we created high-ranking blog content targeting 147 informational keywords, answering key consumer questions like “how to care for cashmere” and “difference between cashmere grades.”
This multi-layered approach ensured the brand attracted, educated, and converted customers at every touchpoint, ultimately driving higher organic traffic and revenue.
With the rise of Google Shopping and AI-powered search experiences, we strategically optimized the brand’s product listings to enhance visibility in these high-traffic areas. By refining product schema markup, descriptions, and high-quality images, we ensured that the brand’s items stood out in Google Shopping results, increasing click-through rates and conversions.
A key achievement was securing placement in Google’s “People Also Buy” and “Similar Brands” sections, features typically dominated by established luxury retailers. We achieved this by structuring product data in an AI-friendly way, making it easier for Google’s algorithms to associate the brand with high-end competitors.
Additionally, we optimized for Google’s Search Generative Experience, implementing structured data and AI-driven content formatting to increase the brand’s presence in Google’s AI-powered shopping suggestions.
By capitalizing on these AI-driven search opportunities, we positioned the brand alongside industry leaders, expanding brand awareness and accelerating organic sales growth.
To further strengthen the brand’s online authority, we executed a high-impact digital PR campaign.
These high-quality backlinks helped improve domain authority, leading to higher rankings for competitive keywords.
The results of our SEO efforts were extraordinary:
This case study proves that even in a competitive industry like luxury fashion, an intelligent SEO strategy can drive significant results.
With our continued efforts, we’re on track to surpass 2,000 keyword rankings, opening the door to even greater revenue opportunities in the months ahead. This growth proves that SEO isn’t just about climbing search rankings, it’s a game-changing strategy that drives real revenue and helps brands compete at the highest level.
